US and Coalition Forces in the First Gulf War, 1991, were equipped from deep stockpiles of highly capable kinetic and non-kinetic weapons systems. In contrast, supplying Ukraine in the Russo-Ukraine War has challenged weapons stockpiles and supply chains, share-ability/exportability, and trainability across dozens of countries’ militaries. How can we best ensure superior provisioning of warfighting in the EMS for future large scale, and...

Superiority in the electromagnetic spectrum continues to prove itself as a game-changing capability that provides a decisive operational advantage in conflicts worldwide. Integrating and synchronizing EMS operations in every warfighting domain across the entire range of military operations is a clear imperative for our warfighters. But continued success demands that industry, academia, military, governments, and professional associations form...

Are you engaged in international defense business? Steven A. Casazza, President of Defense Trade Solutions will provide an overview of industry obligations and best practices for compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Arms Export Control Act (AECA). This webinar is designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the regulatory framework governing the export and import of defense articles,...

This presentation will discuss the history and development of Cognitive radar (CR) and electronic warfare (EW). These systems did not happen overnight but were the result of a technological tipping point that has been years in the making. Until the early 2000s, advanced radar/EW were incremental advancements in adaptive signal processing such as adaptive beamforming and space-time adaptive processing, more powerful digital embedded real-time c...

This presentation will discuss the basic principles of an Integrated Air Defense System (IADS), and the basic characteristics of a radar-guided missile system. This will be an overview webinar, not a detailed discussion. You will leave the webinar with a basic understanding of how IADS and missile intercepts work from the short discussion of each of the following 8 topics: Target detection, resolution, and countermeasures (noise jamming) Varia...

Collaborative Warfare is driving all aspects of modern warfare into a new reality. To achieve efficient situational awareness (SA), effective mission planning, coordination and execution requires a new integrated and cooperative paradigm to achieve battlefield superiority. The employment of coordinated cyber capabilities as well as distributed and cognitive networked EW systems must be selected carefully to deliver the best mission effectivene...

Registration for this event is sold out. The overall goal of this signature conference for Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) professionals from the military, government, industry, and academic fields is to discuss issues related to achieving Force Level EW and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) capabilities across the Services. Technical panels and keynote speakers will address EW and EMSO requirements and emerging technologies necessary to...

Cyber Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA) 2023 is a conference hosted by the Association of Old Crows (AOC), PEO IEW&S/C5ISR and the AOC Susquehanna APG Roost. Its intent is to bring the community together to educate, discuss and strategize these technical needs. We anticipate 800+ representatives from military, government, industry, and academia supporting PEO IEW&S, CCDC/DEVCOM and related organizations from APG and other areas. All atte...

Across our portfolio of advanced warfighting capabilities, we have trouble seeing the causes of our shared problems due to a long-standing fixation on their symptoms. While our individual technologies are indeed exceptional, our philosophy is becoming obsolete and so our approach is becoming deficient for our circumstances. The Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS), or simply the Spectrum, is no less than the totality of all radiant EM energy, for ev...

Although the term Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is often used interchangeably with both Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and “drone,” a UAS is a “system” of three parts, with UAV or “drone” referring to the aircraft itself. In addition to the aircraft, the UAS includes the control station and the communication link between the control station and the aircraft. It is this communications link that is often the p...
